The Nathe development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Nathe Loose Ring Snaffle 18 mm Double-Jointed with Large Rings from the Nathe range in more detail:

The Nathe Loose Ring Snaffle 18 mm Double-Jointed with Large Rings bit is made of plastic and features loose ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed.

Bit thickness

The bit is 18mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lip area. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit material

Plastic

Food-grade plastic is used for bits, which means no plasticizer is used and it is well tolerated by horses. The particularly smooth texture ensures that the bit can slide easily in the mouth, even with little salivation.

Manufacturer information

Nathe

Nathe bits are characterized by a smooth surface because they are made of high-quality thermoplastic. This can increase satisfaction and willingness to perform in sensitive horses and horses with sensitive mouths. The material is anti-allergenic, food-safe, solvent-free and contains no plasticizers. High flexibility of the mouthpiece is ensured by the temperature-neutral properties of thermoplastic.

Mouthpiece

double-jointed

Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Cheekpiece

Loose ring snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two free-running rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Nathe Loose Ring Snaffle 18 mm Double-Jointed with Large Rings is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a "more mobile" bit in the mouth.
